AdBlue in the diesel tank? Keep the engine off.
If you have put AdBlue into the diesel filler, do not start the engine or switch on the ignition. AdBlue belongs in a separate reservoir and should never be mixed with diesel. Call AdBlue Hero with your location and vehicle details to discuss removal.
Already started or driven? Tell us straight away.
If the vehicle is moving, stop as soon as it is safe, switch off and do not restart. Tell us how far you travelled, whether the engine is still running and any symptoms or warnings. Contamination may have travelled beyond the tank, so further inspection or repairs may be needed.
Diesel tank removal for cars, vans and trucks
We handle enquiries for private cars, work vans, trucks and other diesel vehicles. Tell us the vehicle registration, tank size if known and approximate amount of AdBlue added. Vehicle access and whether the contaminated fuel has circulated affect the job.
What happens next?
We discuss the incident and assess the removal work required. The scope may include draining contaminated fluid and further cleaning or checks as appropriate to the vehicle. We will explain the proposed work rather than promise that a drain alone will fix every situation.
Do not top up and carry on
Adding more diesel does not remove the AdBlue. Even if only a small amount went in, keep the engine off and ask for advice. Call 0333 772 1724 for a quote and the next steps.
